next gen ! i went there for a couple of years when it opened. Felt it was starting to get a little run down. How is it these days ?

will need to read your valeting tips too. I have washed the car 3 times in 7 days. Using HALFORDS ADVANCED CAR SHAMPOO in hot water. Great for cleaning but not as shiney as the day i purchased from the dealer.

Can anyone recommend something to add more shine ?

Cheers

I use turtle wax extreme... seems OK to my uneducated eye (not having the luxury of being able to afford the detailers !!).

To finish it off, I run over the body work with a damp microfibre cloth... they are very good.

If I could be bothered (but can't), then I guess I should put some polishing wax on or something.

thanks for that Andy. So turtle wax and a microfibre cloth. will pop up to halfords sometime and have a look. sounds a little more economical than jim's ultimate solution

.... still need to get myself a pressure hose too.
